‘Anne Frank’ apartment ad changed

AMSTERDAM (JTA) -- An Amsterdam rental agency advertising an apartment to rent no longer says that guests "can live Anne Frank."

The foundation holds legal rights to the Anne Frank name and forbids its use without permission. A staff member at the Anne Frank House said one reason is to prevent tourist industry exploitation of the name.
